Kyle Larson secured another remarkable High Limit win at Perth Motorplex, successfully defending his title and earning $110,000 in the event finale. The accomplished driver held off fierce competition in Australia, surpassing even last year’s impressive $100,000 victory and continuing his streak in prestigious international events.
Thrilling High Limit Finale Brings Fans to Their Feet
The atmosphere at Perth Motorplex was electric over the three-day racing weekend, with local and visiting fans treated to thrilling on-track action. American drivers, including some who arrived early to race on Boxing Day, put on an impressive show, intensifying the excitement surrounding the High Limit International series.
Kyle Larson faced adamant challenges from both American and Australian competitors in the finale. Demonstrating strategic skill and seasoned persistence, he managed to maintain his lead throughout intense laps. After the race, Larson reflected on the significance of his back-to-back victories and his approach to each stage of the competition.
“Then we were able to just put it together tonight and dial in the race car, and just make some good decisions when I needed to and have some good fortune along the way. All the ingredients that you need to win races, especially big ones. Just proud of the team and proud of myself, too for not plugging the wall and getting frustrated. So, yeah, it was just fun.”

Late-Race Drama Adds to the Spectacle
The final laps kept the crowd on edge as Corey Day, who has become a notable protégé of Larson, mounted a determined challenge for the lead. However, just as Day appeared poised to take over, a caution flag was triggered by Rico Abreu’s engine trouble. On the subsequent restart, Day lost his shot when a right-rear tire blew after several brushes with the wall, allowing Larson to sail to another High Limit win.
What’s Next: Larson Heads to the Tulsa Shootout
After this successful stint in Australia, Kyle Larson is already preparing for his next racing challenge, the Tulsa Shootout in Oklahoma. The Larson family is deeply involved with the event this year, with his children also set to participate, highlighting the familial spirit within the racing community.
The Tulsa Shootout will attract other notable NASCAR names, including Kyle Busch, Ty Gibbs, and Brexton Busch. An interesting storyline for fans is that Brexton will compete directly against his Cup Series champion father, creating unique on-track family rivalries.
For Larson, the accomplishment in Australia has provided added motivation and a bit of financial reward as he pursues a coveted Golden Driller at the upcoming shootout. His relentless schedule and passionate approach underline his commitment both to racing and to sharing track experiences with his family.
